Man thought to be in Coma for 23 years wasn't
This one amazes me, I can't imagine just being a mute spectator to my own body for such a long period of time. I think I would go mad.

I don't know enough to pick a side since they claim they started looking for evidence of consciousness based on some brain scans, but yeah, if Facilitated Communication is the method being used my default is going to be an assumption of either self-deception (by the facilitator) or simple fraud.
Here's the Randi article. |

It is a wasted day here at work so I've been poking around on this and everything I've seen convinces me it is facilitated communication and therefore complete bunk.
They may have found other evidence of consciousness (though the details on that seem to be unknown) but these conversations he's had aren't. First step is to get a faciliator who doesn't speak Flemish and see how good the results are. Then ask him questions while his facilitator is out of the room. Then fire the doctors who fell for this and feel really bad for the family desperately grasping at straws and taken in by a con. |

Give him a Oujai board, I bet he can communicate with the spirit of that really cute boy that died in the hospital room 50 years ago.

Heh, WTF out of Australia, with a literal "F" - Photo of couple having sex in historic Sydney shopping center clock tower. (mostly SFW, out of focus bare female back) It does not appear to be the Lashpair.

Wow, I know it's been hot there but still. I mean, they could have done it without being so obvious.........
I wonder if it will come out that they work at the shopping center. I mean, that time of day?

What's the point of exhibitionism if no one's watching?
